WTO Rules US Aid to Boeing Violates Trade Rules

世贸组织裁定美国补贴波音违反贸易法规

The World Trade Organization has ruled that aircraft maker Boeing received more than $5 billion in illegal subsidies from the U.S. government.

世界贸易组织裁定，飞机制造商波音公司从美国政府获得超过50亿美元的非法补贴。

The ruling by a WTO panel in Geneva Thursday is the latest in a six-year dispute between the world's two largest airplane makers, U.S.-based Boeing and the European company Airbus. A separate WTO panel condemned European government support for Airbus last year.

世界贸易组织的一个小组星期四做出了这一裁决。这是就世界两大飞机制造商美国波音公司和欧洲空中客车公司长达6年争端的最新一次裁决。世界贸易组织的另一个小组谴责欧洲国家政府去年向空中客车公司提供了支持。

The ruling against Boeing says the EU had demonstrated that the U.S. government provided Boeing with prohibited export subsidies. The Reuters news agency reports the subsidies that were ruled illegal included research and development payments from the U.S. space agency NASA to Boeing.

这一不利于波音公司的裁决说，欧盟证实，美国政府向波音公司提供了被禁止的出口补贴。路透社报导说，这些被裁定非法的补贴项目包括美国航空航天局向波音公司支付的研发费用。
